Honda Rebel 450 1986 bobber conversion

[d.gilyad.herman]

Hey, me and my father are wishing to convert his rebel into a Bobber. We both have little to no experience in modifying bikes, we have only ever done maintenance work. But we are eager to do a project together. So if you know anything about Bobber conversions we would highly value your input. The two photos that are attached are what we want to do to it, the first is the over all finish (I actually believe that bike was done by a kiwi guy), and in the second photo we really like the bars and pipes and would like to incorporate those elements into it. If someone could give like a rough pricing or even a rough guide to the hours needed to do this, that would be amazing.

The first bike is one of mine, I have done a few over the years, including 2 450's. That one now has a drag bar on it (new owner changed it), and is matt black now, so it now looks quite different. I'll post a pic link below.
Anyway, my part time business, Bobbers R Us Webstore, supplies most of the parts you need.
Hope that helps, links below

Also here's a pic of the 2 450's I had, one had not been modifed yet when this pic was taken, so you can see the differences

Edit - btw I think this thread should be in the 'modifying motorcycles' category
